Beethoven

Beethoven's first bloom. It's more red than the first two photos show but it's definitely not a true red at all. More of a reddish purple. Very pretty though and I'm glad I was able to find it!

Beethoven (Volkmann) Semidouble red star/white ruffled edge. Dark green, round. Standard

(Does anyone have a year for this one?  I'm thinking it's from the mid-80's or so?)

 

 I don't like this photo nearly as well but it shows the color much better than the first photo.
